Ok so I'm not one to usually write reviews but I must say this one is needed and long overdue. First off, I'd have to say I'm pretty veteran when it comes to drawing my brows and having it tatted a few times (since it does fade within time and the fact that I have really oily skin) prior to finding this beautiful lady, Kristina. She did an absolute fabulous job on my brows! I, myself am an extreme perfectionist when it comes to the shape and color of my brows. Kristina would know. :)
She was extremely patient, listened to what and how I wanted my shape and made sure everything was good to go before inking me up. She did warn me ahead of time that she wasn't a typical artist who will do you in under an hour. So if you think you can get your brows did and expect them to come out all perfect and are in a rush to leave.... Then sorry for ya, but don't be coming to this lady! She's extremely committed and really took her time and made sure every stroke of hair was put in place (mind you, I'm one of the "lucky" few who barely has any brow hairs). She would stop in between and have me look at it and made sure that I was happy with it. If not, she would continue with the process until I was satisfied. Oh and to top it all off, I felt no pain whatsoever. Unlike, my prior sessions with other artists. Yes, I must admit it was darker than how anticipated after the work was done but then again, You can't expect to go in and come out with the brow color looking all natural. It did fade within a short period of time though... Just gotta be patient and stop staring at the mirror so damn much!!! ;)
I will definitely be coming back to her. In fact, I NEED to come back. Was suppose to go back in June for my one month but got caught up with a hectic summer schedule and haven't been. Â Its been about 3 months now. :( Then again, my brows have still maintained its shape and color has lightened to where its not too dark which I love!!! Â I also have to admit, I still do fill in my brows since I'm such a damn perfectionist. But on a good note, it doesn't take me as long as before and I'm lovin the fact that I decided to get them done again after 4 yrs of looking like an alien every morning. Thank you again Kristina!!! *MUAH!!* if only I could find my BEFORE and AFTER pics! Lol
I just HAD to comment on the ONE review that was not 5 stars...  Kristinis a is a perfectionist herself and only gives her clients the best possible results possible.  As with any procedure, people react and heal diffently.  Unfortunatly there is no way to control how each individuals skin will absorb and hold the pigments!  But rest assured Kristina will try all possiblities to obtain the result you desire!!!  I'm sure that Elaine will have the same result with another  permanante make up artist of Kristina's calliber.  However if you just want an unnatural looking solid colored brow, obtained by grinding the pigment into your skin, ANYONE can give you that!!!  But if you want a brow that people would have to look long and hard at to realize it might not be your own natral hairs, KRISTINA is the ONE for you.  SHE HAS MASTERED THE HAIR STROKE TECHNIQUE, AND YOU WILL BE AMAZED AT THE REULTS IF YOU CAN BE PATIENT THROUGH THE HEALING PROCESS!!!!!
Elaine I suggest you make another follow up appointment with Kristina so you don't end up with a technition who promises but can't deliver anything close to what Kristina's expertise can.
